===Origin===
===Origin===
Alomomola appears to be a combination of an {{wp|ocean sunfish}} and a heart representing health. Due to its hand-like fins and heart shaped body, it may have been inspired by the {{wp|Claddagh ring}}. Its ability to heal other Pokémon may be inspired by the {{wp|Red garra|doctor fish}}. The fact that it wraps itself in a special membrane might be a reference to a {{wp|parrotfish}}, or the nourishing secretions of the {{wp|Discus (fish)|discus fish}}. Alomomola being found in locations with the {{p|Jellicent}} line, reflects the ocean sunfish's diet of {{wp|jellyfish}}.
